Harry Styles's SajuThe Earth of a Frozen Late-Winter Field, Bringing Its Songs Out into the Sunlight (Earth Horse)Billboard · February 1, 1994

용신: 火

You are a broad stretch of earth lying in a frozen field at the end of winter. When people hear of an Earth Horse Day Pillar, most of them picture ground warmed by the sun. But on the land where you were born, the sun has not yet risen. You are earth that keeps a single small ember in a hearth beneath the ground and has held off the cold damp with that warmth. That is why you come fully into yourself only once you step up to a place where others light the fire around you. You likely think of yourself as a warm person. Yet the first thing to point out is that warmth is exactly what this chart lacks most.

In New York, in the years when immigrant ships lined up to land at Ellis Island, I saw a man who kept a small kiln in a Brooklyn back lane. He had an Earth Horse Day Pillar like yours and the Canopy Star in his month branch, and when he mixed his glazes alone at night while others slept, his hand was clearer than anyone’s in the neighborhood. But every time the price of firewood rose, he had to cut back the days he fired the kiln, and the only place he had to sell his bowls was a single pushcart across the river on Hester Street. The years grew long in which fine bowls went out between people’s shopping baskets instead of sitting in a shop window where the sunlight falls.

Earth Horse — The Earth of a Frozen Late-Winter Field, Bringing Its Songs Out into the Sunlight

You are not someone who crumbles easily. You are Yang Earth born in the Ox month of late winter, so you carry the earth of your own season on your back. The Yin Earth inside the Ox of your month branch and the Yin Earth inside the Horse of your day branch become roots that hold you up, so this chart has a strong Day Master. On top of that, the Yin Fire inside the Horse of your day branch, the Nurturer, warms the earth from below and lends you strength by a different road than the roots. The unhurried way you speak, and the way you brush yourself off and get up as if nothing happened when you fall on stage, are this heavy earth showing itself.

A great deal has gathered in your day branch, the seat of your own self. The Peach Blossom Star draws people’s eyes, the Sheep Blade makes your decisions quick, and the Needle Star keeps you from missing fine details. The warmth you show your fans is the Yin Fire of your day branch, handed out to others without holding back. That warmth is meshed with the Peach Blossom’s power to bring people together. Yet the edges of the Sheep Blade and the Needle Star point inward before they point outward. You are generous with others and relentless with yourself, and that habit has most likely sunk in deep.

Between the Ox of your month branch and the Horse of your day branch hang the Ox–Horse Resentment, the Ox–Horse Ghost Gate and the Ox–Horse Harm all at once. It is a structure in which the seat of work and surroundings scrapes against your own seat, so at work you form ties you resent yet cannot easily cut, and your thoughts easily burrow inward. You have spoken of suffering for a long time under the image your management put on you in your early days, and of keeping your distance from social media. That story points the same way as what this seat goes through. The Performer in the Rooster Metal of your year branch stands for expression that steps past the frame, and the Noble Authority in the Yin Wood of your month stem stands for the frame that must be kept. So inside you, a heart that respects the frame and a heart that hates to be shut in one box live side by side.

You are someone who works through voice and expression. The Performer in the Rooster Metal of your year branch forms the Rooster–Ox half combination with the Ox of your month branch, so the force of expression gathers in one place. The Yin Metal inside the Ox is the Performer too, so the energy of singing and making things stands out clearly in your chart. Your structure is the Steady Wealth Structure, with the Yin Water of your year stem showing on the surface and rooted in your month branch. It is a vessel that builds up steadily, but with so much earth among the Companion and Rival stars, there are always people at your side who share in the take. A vessel like this finds it hard to stay long inside someone else’s organization, and it leans toward putting your own name on the line while standing shoulder to shoulder with your colleagues. Your road, starting in a group and then standing solo, has followed this nature step for step.

Let me state the conclusion plainly. The place to put your strength is music, and above all the stage where you stand before people. The stage is where the energy of expression meets the sunlight, and it is also where the fire this chart needs most is filled by the lights and the warmth of the crowd. Acting touches the Yin Wood of your month stem, the seat of Noble Authority. Living someone else’s life inside the frame of a script is the work of your Support Element, which keeps the overflowing earth in check, and so it refines you. Still, it suits you best as a second wing, choosing your roles and keeping them to one a year or fewer. Your brand sits in the seat of wealth and overlaps with the Dynamic Wealth of your current Decade Luck, so rather than expanding it yourself, leave it in the hands of people you trust and treat it as something to protect.

Where you get stuck is plain too. With so much earth, wealth gets split among many hands, so the more people work with you, the more easily it blurs who handles what and who takes how much. The Metal Rooster Decade Luck that begins at thirty-nine is ten years in which the energy of expression takes the lead once more. Start gathering now the songs and the voice that will let you stand tall once again at that time.

You are a vessel that can hold great sums of money. A strong earth holds on to Steady Wealth, and that Steady Wealth is rooted in your month branch, so even when the money coming in is large, you do not collapse. Your money comes by the road on which the Performer gives birth to wealth. It is a structure in which what you sing and make turns straight into money. The fortune you have built can fairly be called the result of walking this road honestly.

But the power to keep it has clear leaks. With so much earth, it is a pattern of many hands contending for the same wealth, so the more crowded the board, as with concerts, records and the brand, the more easily the shares scatter. The Water Dog Decade Luck you are in now holds both Yang Water, the Dynamic Wealth that stands for big boards, and Dog Earth, the Companion that stands for those you split shares with. The board grows, and so does the struggle over shares. The Earth Monkey year of 2028 and the Earth Rooster year of 2029 in particular are years that call for caution around wealth and competition. Do not start a new business expansion or a partnership contract in those two years. You will do better to push them back to the Metal Dog year of 2030 or later.

Water is your Avoid Element and also your wealth, so you cannot cut it off. In years when big money changes hands, simply warm and fill your heart with the energy of fire to match. When you changed your tour to staying a long time in one place and criticism came over ticket prices, I read that as the place where the flow of wealth met the hearts of people. Explaining first, in your own words, why that stage takes the shape it does is the way to protect both your wealth and your people. There is one thing to do starting this month. For every stream of income from records, concerts and the brand, write down on a single settlement sheet who handles what and how many shares each person takes.

The star of your partner is water, that is, the wealth stars. That star, the Steady Wealth of Yin Water, shows on your year stem in a distant seat, and even across that distance it is bound to your Day Master, Yang Earth, in the Earth–Water Combination. So once you give your heart, you are bound deeply, but such a bond comes from far away and arrives late. The Lonely Swan Star in your day branch is also an energy by which bonds settle late. Your path, through several public relationships to an engagement after thirty, points the same way.

In your day branch, the palace of the spouse, sits the Nurturer. The Nurturer is an energy that embraces and warms, so what you want from a partner is most likely ease when you come home rather than glamour. Yet the Peach Blossom in the same seat keeps drawing people’s eyes. The Ox–Horse Resentment and the Ox–Horse Harm I spoke of earlier also scrape between the seat of work and this palace of the spouse. So the most common quarrel will be a busy schedule shaking what lies between the two of you. The closer you are, the more you must first settle each other’s time and space for this seat to rest easy.

If you ask about the time to marry, I name the Fire Goat year of 2027 as the best. That year’s Goat Earth forms the Horse–Goat Combination with the Horse Fire in your palace of the spouse and binds your seat toward your partner. But the same Goat Earth sets off the Ox–Goat Clash with the Ox of your month branch and shakes the seat of work and public life hard, so that year you must cut back your schedule and make room for the wedding. The Water Rat year of 2032 is a year when the Rat–Horse Clash strikes the palace of the spouse head-on, so you must take special care with the conversations in your closest relationship. The wood of the family, the Noble Authority of Yin Wood that stands for children, is present in your chart. The Wood Tiger year of 2034 and the Wood Rabbit year of 2035, when the energy of wood comes in, look like good times to bring a new tree into the household. Here is what to do starting today. When you draw up your next schedule, write in the days the two of you rest together before the concert dates.

Your energy is like earth that is cold on the outside and hot within. Late winter’s cold damp lies at the base, while the Scalding Star in your month and day branches raises heat from inside. So yours is a nature that easily cools on the surface and boils underneath. With the Ghost Gate Star hanging in the same place as well, when strain piles up, your sleep and your heart are likely to be the first to shake.

So your way of caring for yourself lies in warming without boiling. Set aside time once a day to walk in the midday sunlight. On nights after a concert, teach your body the order of first letting the restless heat settle and then going straight to bed. Winter, when the energy of water grows thick, is your hardest season, so for the November and December left this year it would be good to book your days off first.

Your choice to reshape your tour to fit your body stands on the same side as the pacing this chart advises. What the chart can tell you reaches as far as when to rest and when to move. If signs from your body that weigh on your mind keep coming, do not put it off. See a doctor and have it looked at.

The Fire Horse year of 2026 is the year the sunlight your chart had been waiting for rose in the sky. Yang Fire, which does not appear in your chart, came in as the Mystic to thaw the frozen earth, and below, the Horse Fire added its warmth as the Nurturer, so judged by the year alone, help leads. The Dog Earth of your current Decade Luck and the year’s Horse Fire gathered in the Horse–Dog half combination, so the energy flowed in one direction too. Your fourth album reaching the top in Britain and America and the release of your Manchester concert film stand on the side of this tailwind. If I choose one key word for this year, it is sunlight.

But a headwind clearly blew in the same year. The Yang Water of the Decade Luck and the year’s Yang Fire collided in a stem clash. It is the picture of the Decade Luck’s great water blocking the year’s sunlight, a year in which intentions are easily bent and decisions easily overturned. Changing your tour from moving city to city to staying a long time in one place also reads as a choice made on this current. The year’s Horse Fire is caught once more in the Ox–Horse Resentment with the Ox of your month branch and lies over the Scalding Star in your chart, so pressure in your heart would have built up easily and small frictions would have arisen in close relationships. Even so, over the year as a whole, help leads. Only, since great water stood against it, this is not a year to hurry.

Of the months already past, June was the best. The two months that remain are months for caution. November and December are months when the season’s cold runs against your chart, a time to cut back and rest rather than start new contracts or make big announcements. Use these two months to gather back in the energy you spent on stage this year. That way you can carry the sunlight you gained this year into the next.

Let me go over the road behind you first. The Metal Tiger year of 2010, which you met at sixteen, brought strong help when looked at on its own. Its Tiger Wood formed the Tiger–Horse half combination with the Horse Fire of your day branch and greatly raised the fire under your ground. But at that time the Yang Wood of your Decade Luck and the year’s Yang Metal stood against each other in a stem clash, so the aim you set out with alone was bent once. The year’s Yang Metal also bound with your Noble Authority, the Yin Wood, in a stem combination, so your seat was bound together with others. The Heavenly Noble Star in your month branch is a seat where people reach out a hand in urgent moments. The scene in which you fell short on your own and then won another chance once five of you were bound together points the same way as these workings.

The Water Pig Decade Luck that followed, from nineteen to twenty-eight, or from around February 2013 to around February 2023, was ten years in which the water of wealth rushed in all at once. The board of name and money was at its largest, but it was also a stretch of caution when the cold ran deepest. The Fire Monkey year of 2016, when you signed your solo contract, brought in Yang Fire that warmed the season, but set beside the weight of the Decade Luck it was by no means a light year.

Now you stand in the middle of the Water Dog Decade Luck, which began at twenty-nine and runs from around February 2023 to around February 2033. It is ten years holding Yang Water, the Dynamic Wealth that opens big boards, and Dog Earth, the Companion with whom you split shares. On top of that comes a climate clash that adds water to a cold chart, so it is a stretch where caution leads. In the Fire Goat year of 2027, help and a clash on your month branch come in together, and the Earth Monkey year of 2028 and the Earth Rooster year of 2029 are years to be careful about wealth and competition. In the Metal Dog year of 2030 the sunlight comes in once. After that, the Metal Pig year of 2031, the Water Rat year of 2032 and the Water Ox year of 2033 follow as years of caution in which water strikes fire, your Vital Element, and among them 2032 is the heaviest of the coming ten years.

The Metal Rooster Decade Luck that begins at thirty-nine, from around February 2033 to around February 2043, is ten years in which fortune and misfortune are about even. The metal of the Performer comes into both stem and branch, so expression through singing and writing takes the lead once more. Once you get past the water of its first year, the Water Ox year of 2033, the Wood Tiger year of 2034 arrives as the brightest of the coming ten years. The Wood Rabbit year of 2035 is good as well, but the Rabbit–Rooster Clash with the Rooster Metal of the Decade Luck catches on it, so you must set your standards and your pace together. The Metal Monkey Decade Luck that begins at forty-nine, from around February 2043 to around February 2053, is ten years in which the metal of the Creative comes in. It is a good time for the weight to shift from what you sang on stage toward making and nurturing things. After that, from the Earth Horse Decade Luck around sixty-nine, the energy of fire arrives, and this is a chart in which the sunlight grows deeper in old age. But what matters for you now is to cross this Water Dog Decade Luck by guarding rather than expanding.

That kiln owner in Brooklyn never did get a display window bearing his own name, but he never let go of the glazes he mixed alone each night. Even in that age, the skill of his Canopy Star was clear. But the doors of firewood and a place to sell were narrow, and the road for his bowls to reach the sunlight was long. For you today, the same Canopy Star lives on in the nights you spend writing songs alone, and the stage on which to bring those songs out is already in your hands. Is this age not opening for you the very road the kiln owner never quite reached, the road of carrying what you shaped alone out into the sunlight?

First, in work and money, put your weight on music and the stage through 2029. Put off new brand expansions and partnership contracts until the Metal Dog year of 2030 or later. In the meantime, choose your acting work at one a year or fewer, and use it only as a place where the frame of Noble Authority refines you.

Second, in people, keep those who carry sunlight close to you. Performers overflowing with expression, people who picture the future on a large scale, and those who bring people together fill your fire. Even while you prepare for a wedding, keep one day each month for finding your sound with such colleagues in a rehearsal room or on a small stage.

Third, set your body, your heart and the place you stay to the south and to midday. Within this year, move the room where you write songs to a south-facing room that takes the sunlight, or bring in bright lighting, and make a habit of writing at midday instead of working through the night. Before a concert, make the moment you switch on a small orange lamp backstage your signal that you are now stepping out into the sunlight.

Fourth, finish preparing for the coming Decade Luck within 2030. Decide in advance that the three years from 2031 through 2033, when water strikes fire, will be years for gathering songs and strengthening your body instead of big tours and big contracts. Within 2030, also lay out your plan to release the songs gathered that way in the Wood Tiger year of 2034.

The Metal Dog year of 2030 is coming, the year the fire under your ground meets Dog Earth and gathers together in the Horse–Dog half combination. Yet the water of the Decade Luck still remains that year, so when you first bring a new song to the stage, take note of whether your breath runs short or comes easy. Once you have lived through that year, come back and tell me what you saw on that stage and which road you chose.
